I believe that both men were completely stripped down (which makes sense for a complete examination and both were eseentially just wrapped up in the sheets they died in and placed in a coffin. JFK's was however the best available from the local Dallas funeral home, and paid for by Jackie's secret service agent Clint Hill. I hope he was re-imbursed. Both men's suits have become iconic relic, however JFK's suit will not be available for display until 2062.
I hope I live long enough to see it!
